Thrice actually.
What was Swift doing, again? He seems to do everything but win a stage, which is a bit of a problem for a Sprinter.

I actually meant the real Gesink...but you're right, three times in the Tour makes him Denis Menchov Who, on the other hand, has yet to crash for my ManGame team...

Ventoso finally gets the win, he's done well this tour, and the next stage should also suit him.

Stage safely negotiated for Cunego and some more points towards the green jersey.
Ivars down though. Perez Sanchez been down twice already too - if they both end up carrying injuries, real lack of support for Cunego. Hopefully, he won't need it, eh? |

I still don't understand my team's strategy to go for breakaways, but oh well..

Not a fun stage....Cunego having a weak support team means difficult for Colombia to exert any sort of control. Ivars certainly seems to be hurt, and Perez Sanchez doesn't look to be recovered.
Well done to UBS. |

Exciting stage. Not so much with the crashes but in the end all came together again so for today that didn't matter.
Tschopp really looked strongest there at the end, deserved victory for him.

So close, but I have to be pleased with the outcome as the team really showed themselves there. Quite hopeful that Giaux gets in a flatter breakaway and then he will have an excellent chance. But great to see Moinard flying the flag for France and Gadret not being distanced also.
Crashes in the next stage could be brutal - hoping my riders can keep up with the main pack for as long as possible.

Obviously Fothen crashes again... He has been in every single mass crash happening with races containing him. WITHOUT exception!

Johann Tschopp!!!!! Oh that was amazing! He has got to be my favorite rider on the team this year. Too bad for Amador and Marquez. Lucky to not lose time, but Ill be even luckier if they aren't hurt.

That must've been a painful report for most of the managers, with so many favourites down. Still, exciting stuff. Love seeing the break take a win.

Amazing that Martin didn't fall... things are looking up. Still, 25th on GC is way sub-par. |

Great. Popovych and Cataldo who had both so far avoided crashes went down. As did Kritskiy again. |

... So, the first time there's an actual chance of winning a stage, none of my riders are in the breakaway.
Then pretty much of all the favourites crash, none of my riders crash, and the team decides not to take advantage of it.
Whoever's the DS should be fired

A bit of peloton skittles there, and a breakaway win. Good result for UBS, lucky for the leaders that they didn't lose time.

Glad Summerhill is so active and grabbing some decent stage placings, very interesting that the peloton let up and didn't push the gap to the other favorites.
